PUEBLO, CO — Drivers in Pueblo could soon see some more potholes open up.

The public works director says the historic storms the city saw this week combined with the end of winter could lead to more potholes and other road damage in the coming weeks.

"In the winter time where we see freezing and thawing action we get a lot more damage to pavements. It is a time where that water expands and breaks up pavements so in the springtime, we see a lot more damage that occurs over the winter," said Pueblo Public Works Director,

The director says about $100,000 each year is spent on filling potholes in Pueblo. If you see a pothole in Pueblo contact the Public Works Department or fill out an online request here.
